INTRODUCTION
ROT-X-TRACT-LCTM
Instrument Description
The ROT-X-TRACT Solvent Extraction / Evaporation System is designed for general
evaporation and concentration of analytical or environmental samples to meet the needs of
specific methods under controlled and reproducible conditions.
The ROT-X-TRACT system features liquid / liquid extraction coupled with rapid
solvent evaporation with solvent vapor recovery. Solvent recoveries can exceed 90% by
volume under ideal conditions. The system may be used with cold tap water or a recirculating
chiller system. The digital controlled water bath provides even uniform heating without
scalding final samples. The parallel water manifold system provides even cooling water to
each of the eight condensers. The rotary water manifold allows unlimited instrument rotation
for front loading without condenser tubing wrapping about the instrument.

INSTALLATION
ROT-X-TRACT-LCTM
Location
The ROT-X-TRACT evaporator system should be located on a bench top or in a
chemical fume hood if hazardous or flammable materials and solvents are to be used. The
location should provide the necessary support services for the instrument. These include
electrical power (required for water bath), cold water. Please review the Specifications Section
for further information.
Bath Setup
1. Position the bath on a stable flat surface such as a lab bench or in a chemical fume hood.
2. Turn the bath rocker switch to the “OFF” position.
3. Turn the heat switch to the center “OFF” position.
4. Plug the bath electrical cord into a 3 wire grounded electrical outlet rated for 110-120
VAC, 50-60 Hz, single phase, 15 amps.
Optional 220 VAC baths are clearly marked and should be plugged into a three wire
grounded electrical outlet rated for 220-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, single phase, 15 amps.

6. Type-Z Purge Positive Pressure Bath option - If you do not have this option, please
proceed to the next section. Procedures for operating this system may be found in
the Operation Section. Please refer to Figure 3 below for parts list and
installation.
A. Install the Type Z Purge Gauge Assembly to the rear of the bath as shown. The
bracket attaches to the rear of the bath and is held in place by a 6-32 x 1/4” screw
on the shoulder spacer and by a 1/4” bulkhead hex nut on the gas inlet fitting.
B. Connect the small white silicone tube attached to the gauge to the gas inlet fitting
using the compression nut provided.
C. Attach the filter with 5 foot tube to the plastic elbow fitting located at the base of
the bath or control box. Insert the filter into the fitting and tighten the nut.
Connect the tube to a clean gas source.
D. Test the system by turning on the gas flow to the Z Purge System. Adjust the
gas flow until the gauge reads 0.3 inches water pressure.
WARNING - If this unit is located in a hazardous area where volatile fumes are present,
the Z-Purge System must be activated for a minimum of 10 minutes prior
to activation of bath power. Please review the Safety and Operations
sections.

7. Flow meter assembly - Provided with all ROT-X-TRACT Systems.
A. Units with control box
Attach the flow meter and bracket assembly onto the left rear corner of the
control box with the two 10/32 x 1/2” screws provided. The meter should be
positioned with the scale facing forward.
B. Connect the clear 1/4” ID x 3/8” OD tube to a cold water source (tap or chiller).
Source should be capable of producing 3.5 LPM (1 GPM) and being regulated to
30 psig maximum. If the source is in excess of 30 psig, then Organomation
part #XA0631 Pressure Reducing Regulator for water supply will be required.
The tube is connected to the lower fitting on the flow meter.

8. Pressure Reducing Regulator Option - If you do not have this option, proceed to the next
section. When purchased with a ROT-X-TRACT System, this item is pre-installed onto
the flow meter, between the flow meter and the water inlet tube. Refer to Figure 4.
A. Remove the flow meter from the bracket.
B. Remove the water inlet Tube and fitting from the flow meter.
C. Connect the Pressure Reducing Regulator to the lower fitting on the back of the
flow meter. Position the regulator such that the adjustment knob is straight up
and the gauge points away from the bath.
D. Connect the water inlet tube to the regulator.
E. Re-connect the flow meter to the bracket.
F. The regulator may be adjusted by pushing the knob downwards and then rotating
the knob. The knob may be locked in position lifting it upwards.
